Yep. My kids take transit all the time to go all over the place. They’ve used the Max Yellow maybe twice since it opened. It doesn’t go anywhere.
The BRT is not convenient for going downtown - not when you’ve got the LRT running parallel 1.5 km away. Going to anywhere along Macleod you’re going to take a regular bus and the C-Train. The ring road made driving to Mount Royal University from this part of town a snap. Seems they vastly overestimated how many people would use the BRT to go to Heritage Park and the Rockyview.
